Had to replace my speedo sensor in October (See here). I was fortunate enough to find one on e-bay and haven't seen one since, so I'd prefer this not to be a regular thing.
Followed all the checks recommended by Chitsu and everything checked out. Haven't done too much riding since as my employer packed me off to Poland for winter. Now I'm back and rejoining the daily rat race to London.
Last few days my speedo has been behaving erratically again (i.e. no, intermittent or low readings). This time I have a bit more info:

Last few days my speedo has been behaving erratically again (i.e. no, intermittent or low readings). This time I have a bit more info:
- It only does it when I have the throttle open, if I need to check my speed (say because I'm coming up to a camera) all I have to do is close my throttle - which has the added benefit of slowing me downÂ
- It doesn't always do it, but when it does closing the throttle always clears it
- It never does it at motorway speeds, problem seems to go away above about 60mph - presumably that's speed related as revs don't seen to make a difference
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
